Therapists in Lakeside

“I want to be present and available for my clients, serving as consultant, support, and teacher giving clients the tools needed to achieve their goals and eliminate uncomfortable psychological symptoms. As we work together, clients deepen understanding of themselves and their problems. Understanding leads to healing and change in behaviors, outlook, and lifestyle.
I am a national facilitator for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I use EMDR for treatment of traumatic experiences of all kinds.

“I strive to provide an effective clinical experience focused on mental health or substance abuse issues. Relationship dynamics can promote problems. Including partners or children can quicken the healing process. According to (Relationship, Health, & Marriage: 2005) less than half the participants actually benefit. My job is to understand your problems, see potential solutions, and search for ways to help. Transferred learning from the therapy experience to "real life" means we were successful. "Clients often report the benefits of treatment endure and may continue to improve after therapy" (APA, 2013).

“I enjoy working with individuals that recognize that something needs to change and just aren't sure which way to go. Together, we can explore your motivation to change and learn to live life based on your values, goals, and dreams. Clients who come to see me often have addiction issues, sexual issues, legal issues, relationship issues, and struggles with self image and self worth.

“"You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." (Plato) - I believe in the power of play and that children are able to best express themselves through playing and other expressive outlets. Play therapy can help a child with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, problem-solving, communication, and self esteem. Play therapy can help a child to express their thoughts and feelings in a relaxed playful environment.
